Prepare for a breakthrough 🐣

The Weekly | Issue no. 30. [The Weekly]( Monday | Aug 19th | Issue no. 30 Get ready to level up. This week’s astrology comes in screaming (Full Moon square Uranus), crying (Venus opposite Saturn and square Mars), and throwing wrenches in our plans (Mercury Rx) — which means it also brings a lesson in patient persistence. Commit to meeting your needs, and being super flexible. We can’t show up perfect, but we can show up perfectly human. And demure (hey, Virgo season). 📺 August 19th: Venus opposes Saturn Rx at 1:29 am PT The cruelest voice is never the most accurate.

When life delivers a plot twist, it brings invigorating possibilities. Work with them. 🌕 August 19th: The Full Moon in Aquarius occurs at 11:25 am PT 🌕 This Full Moon is a little haywire.

In cuter news: Highlights from our 2024 Staff Retreat Since we’re a fully remote team, we come together once a year to kick back and get to know each other IRL. During this year’s CHANI staff retreat, we welcomed new team members, crafted vision boards and friendship bracelets, learned about our team’s astrological trends, brainstormed big ideas for the year ahead, and left it all on the dance floor at CHANI Prom. But most of all, we got to enjoy each others’ energy, refresh our excitement, and have fun. Here’s a glimpse inside: [CHANI Retreat postcard that reads "Greetings from the CHANI RETREAT Santa Monica, CA".

[Read on]( From the community: CHANI app review Don’t try to life without this app [5-stars.]( It seems almost strong to say that this app saved my life, but it kind of did. I’m on the tail end of one of the biggest transitional periods in my 51 years on this planet (and I’ve had a lot of BIG transitions) and with the help of the CHANI app, I am reminded daily that it is OK. And that I will be OK. That nothing in this universe is out of place. The app has given me tools to start my day with more gratitude and focus than I would’ve been able to muster alone. It has helped ground me through the toughest emotional waves and navigate the most chaotic waters. It’s rocked me to sleep when nothing else healthy would work. It has influenced my future path in the most profound ways and offered additional tools to courageously face a new life. Thank you to Chani and the entire team of magic makers and gracious beings. I am forever grateful. — thunderboss50 [View this email in your browser](. [Instagram]( [Twitter]( [Facebook]( [Website]( Copyright © 2024 Chani Nicholas, All rights reserved.
